Leak NVIDIA New Flagship Card? 16GB GDDR5 8+6+6 PCI-E power connectors Source:MyDrivers.com http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/mystery_nvidia_graphics_card_spy_photos_surface.html
Engineering Sample. Its actually 8GB. 4GB on each side. Those power connectors add up to 300 watts. Not even close to the 225 watt that is being hinted at. So yes this is just for them to tweak and figure where the final settings will be for production of 860, 870, and 880 cards. Not an indication of final card at all. If this is a new picture, final product won't be here till Sept./October for last tape out. If it is a month old, you are looking at late August.
Perhaps an OFFICIAL launch will be in late august, but i highly doubt that any Cards will hit the stores till much later, and the few that does hit the stores, will be insanely expensive... as usual.
